  • THE WARNING Drops Video For “Bite My Tongue” From Their Latest Album “Everything’s Falling”

    The Warning just dropped its fifth full-length, Everything’s Falling, out now via Lava/Republic Records, and the timing could not be better. Lead single “Kerosene” just hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, a first for a Mexican act and a first for an all-female band on that particular chart.

    Everything’s Falling finds the Monterrey trio digging into growth, self-discovery and the messiness of getting knocked down and getting back up, all delivered with the sharp songwriting and combustible playing that’s become their calling card.

    To mark the release, The Warning has put out a video for “Bite My Tongue,” which you can watch below.

    On the making of the record, the band said: “Everything’s Falling is a snapshot of where we are in our lives right now. We’ve grown so much over the past few years, not just as musicians, but as people. This album reflects everything we’ve experienced, the lessons we’ve learned, and the challenges we’ve overcome. At its core, it’s about accepting that life can be messy and unpredictable. Things fall apart, plans change, and sometimes you lose your footing. But those moments can teach you the most about yourself, and they’re often what make you stronger in the end.”

    Making the record meant getting off the road entirely in 2025 so the band could zero in on writing. The Warning reconvened with longtime collaborator Anton DeLost and tracked the album at home in Monterrey, turning out what may be their tightest, most deliberate work to date.

    The album covers a lot of ground. “Kerosene” brings the attitude and the riffs, “Ritual” leans into existential dread by way of tangled polyrhythms and eerie harmonies, “Ego” turns frustration into swagger, “Bloodsport” drifts toward a hazier, pop-tinged sound, and “Bite My Tongue” cuts straight to the point.

    Everything’s Falling follows 2024’s Keep Me Fed, the album that pushed the band’s career streams past 710 million and landed them a Latin Grammy nod for Best Rock Song for “Qué Más Quieres,” alongside MTV VMA and MTV EMA nominations. Last year, the band closed out that album cycle with sold-out shows for 30,000 fans in Mexico City, later released as the live album and concert film Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX.

    This year alone, The Warning has toured North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia, including a run supporting Yungblud on his “Idols” world tour, plus festival dates and headline shows of their own.

    The band, made up of sisters Daniela “Dany” Villarreal (guitar, lead vocals, piano), Paulina “Pau” Villarreal (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal (bass, piano, backing vocals), has been at this since childhood, cutting their teeth playing shows together in Monterrey long before the world caught on. Independent releases built their early audience, and 2022’s Error and 2024’s Keep Me Fed took things to another level, the latter driving career streams past 710 million and earning that Latin Grammy nomination for “Qué Más Quieres” along with the VMA and EMA nods. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with YungbludHalseyEvanescenceMuse and Foo Fighters.

  • More Guitar in the Monitor (Non-Metal) – August 2026

    Hello dear readers. It’s been a long time (at least in terms of blogs and posting), but sometimes as the great Canadian hardcore band Grade once sang, ‘sometimes life gets in the way of living’. How true, even all these years later. But let me tell you friends, just because I haven’t been consistently writing about music doesn’t mean I haven’t been listening to a lot of great music. My promise to you is to try and write more about it in the coming months. How long will that last? Who knows. But there have been a bunch of albums released this year, especially in my backyard of Connecticut, that have made me want to write nice things about them. So let’s start with these four and we’ll go from there. Deal? Deal.

     

    Erik Rabasca – New Scrolls
    Summertime, especially in its first few weeks, gives everyone such hope and promises of fun times to be had; promises of summer nights under the stars, tapping your feet to good tunes and sipping on your favorite beverages. June is a month of promises, and whether they come true or not, we keep coming back to them every year. What the start of summer needed was an album to match that vibe, an album filled with toe-tappers and positive vibes. Stamford’s Erik Rabasca delivered en masse back in June. His debut solo album New Scrolls is the sonic equivalent to a massive summertime backyard soiree filled with familiar, loving faces. Each tune, a new friend or relative arriving to the party and gifting their favorite local beer or side dish that everyone’s going to down before the sun sets. A side of Americana, a six pack of pop aesthetics, a big heaping bowl of meaningful lyrics, it’s all here. Dive in because even after summer is long gone its promises remain in the aether and so will the beauty held within this record.

    Kierstin Sieser – Love’s Poem
    I’ve been a huge fan of Kierstin Sieser’s work since her days fronting the mighty Tiny Ocean. Her solo albums – 2020’s Shark Tooth Moon and 2021’s Little Shots of Pepper – were refreshing peaks inside the writer’s room. Where Tiny Ocean could fill the halls with their sound, Sieser’s solo work has always been a more introspective journey. Five years later Love’s Poem carries that tradition of sparse yet meaningful songs that demand the listeners full attention. That’s a dangerous game for an artist to play in this day and age of minimal attention spans, and eternal scroll culture. But Sieser’s writing is captivating enough to break through the facade of it all. Choosing just her voice, her electric guitar, and minimal accompaniment on most songs Sieser relies heavily on emotions and mood to control the musical narrative, eschewing the process of dragging songs into pop-soaked oblivion and instead building small worlds to crawl in and out of. It’s a beautiful journey worth taking at sunset with headphones cranked. By the time the sun sets completely you’ll thank me for the recommendation and Sieser for the trip.

    Farewood – In Sunlight Appears the Wraith
    I was thinking about the Connecticut music scene the other day and I postulated the idea to myself that I’m not sure there has even been a band that has been so consistently great for as long a period of time as Meriden’s Farewood. In January of this year they, somewhat quietly, dropped the first truly great album of the year with In Sunlight Appears the Wraith, their first full-length album since 2018’s Under Burning Sun. I think what I love most about this band – outside of their overall sound which deftly mixes an alt rock base with dream pop, shoegaze and dark wave aesthetics – is their ability to just completely engulf the listener like an owl engulfing its prey in the cocoon of its silent wings. That owl’s kiss is beautiful, it’s dark, and it’s as steady as time itself, which are all descriptors you could use for Farewood and their massively impressive body of work, of which this album is a standout. The guitar work, the ethereal vocals, the production, everything about it is phenomenal and if you’ve waited eight months to hear this beast you’ve waited eight months too long. Right that ship and put this baby in your ears.

    Michael Sanford Day – Reason To Stay
    All albums are personal, that’s the nature of being an artist. Every artist worth their salt pours their hopes and fears into their music, writing about loss, love, and the ones who’ve caused both. All albums are personal, but this one feels different. Michael Sanford Day has been a staple of the CT music scene going back to his days fronting the band Little Ugly and his work with Among the Acres. Fans of Day’s work though have been waiting what feels like an exponentially long time for this debut solo record. Knowing even pieces of Day’s story at least partly explains the delay, and a deeper dive into his lyrics fills in the gaps. Fatherhood, marriage, serious illness, lost loved ones, and the daily grind of dealing with it all as a working artist built this record and what we are gifted is something so inherently personal that it almost feels voyeuristic in a good way. This is an artist not afraid to lean into the vulnerability of life itself, to share with his listeners everything beautiful and beautifully dark in his world. It’s cathartic for us as much as it is for Day. We aren’t alone in our struggles, or triumphs, or that often times indescribable void in between. Day delivers it all with a world-class backing band deftly creating pop and rock-infused Americana that will ear worm straight to your brain. Yeah, all albums are personal, but this one definitely feels different.

  • Kulk – Choosing to Die (Review)

    This is the third album from UK doom/sludge band Kulk. Now here’s an intriguing release. On the surface of it, Choosing to Die is a 26-minute doomsludge album ostensibly in the vein of many others. Look more closely though, and you’ll find a record far broader in scope and ambition. Kulk take a style that’s been … Continue reading “Kulk – Choosing to Die (Review)”

    10 Best Rock Songs About A Broken Heart

    Our 10 Best Rock Songs About a Broken Heart looks at some classic songs that we’ve all turned to during those times in our lives when we’ve experienced the pain of being dumped. For many of us, that began in our early teens, and for some, sadly, it still happens. It’s just part of life. Somehow, though, these songs could make us feel a little better because they taught us we weren’t alone. We weren’t the only ones who had our hearts ripped to shreds. It scares me that it was so easy to pick ten of these, given how
